WHOOP Step Count Accuracy Needs Urgent Improvement — 15%+ Difference vs Garmin

Today’s comparison:

WHOOP: 8,700 steps
Garmin: 10,300 steps
iPhone: 10,100 steps

Garmin and iPhone were only 200 steps apart, while WHOOP was around 15.5% lower than Garmin.

Steps are one of the most important daily activity metrics, and many people use fitness trackers specifically for step tracking. Users shouldn’t need another device just to get an accurate step count.

Please prioritize improving the Steps algorithm and release an update as soon as possible.

I have also noticed a lag with the amount of steps Whoop logs compared to Apple. It it is normally off by over 1000 steps.
